shadowClipboard

I’ve toyed with multi-clipboard apps in the past, but I think I’ve finally found one I’m going to stick with in shadowClipboard. I really like the implementation, and so far prefer the simple interface to the advanced interface. I’m a productivity tool junkie, but a very particular one. I probably ditch 90% of the software…

Must-Have Software

I am very dependent on these wonderful software packages, my kudos to their developers. Mac Software LaunchBar Launch applications, bookmarks, view phone numbers, activate songs in iTunes – all with just a few keystrokes. There have been some LaunchBar clones released recently, but the original is still the best. I’m a registered user. Path Finder…

Syncing Application Data Between Machines

Syncing data between machines hasn’t been an issue for me over the last 3 years because my PowerBook has been my primary development machine. Now that I’m back on a desktop as my primary machine, it’s something I have to deal with again. Let’s take browser bookmarks as an example. I still want to keep…

Installing Software, Migrating Data

I made a list of all the software I’m installing on my Quad (it was a checklist initially, but I thought it might be interesting to publish). Sorry, I’m not including links – too many to locate and paste in; use your favorite search engine. A lot of this stuff is also linked on my…

Tasks and LaunchBar

Recently, I’ve chatted with a few folks that also use Tasks Pro™/Tasks and LaunchBar as part of their toolset. I have a number of Tasks Pro™ shortcuts I use with LaunchBar, some of which the others weren’t aware were possible. First the obvious ones: Bookmark for creating a new task (LaunchBar shortcut: nt) Bookmark for…

Recent Mac OS X Features

Spotlight, Expose, Dashboard… I don’t use these. Really, not much has changed for me since 10.1 in terms of the way I use my computer. Am I missing out on things? I’m still using LaunchBar for launching and switching to apps, getting contact information, visiting bookmarked sites and doing searches. I generally use online tools…

Thunderbird Notes

Inspired by Kevin’s post, I decided to give Thunderbird another chance this week. I’ve used it 90% of the time, only going back to Mail.app a few times – but I don’t think I’m ready to switch all the way yet. Unfortunately, there are several features in Thunderbird that I really like, and miss when…

Around the web

Not much this week; I’ve been away from the computer and when I’ve been on I’ve been busy coding (not as much reading). MacDevCenter has a roundup of the LaunchBar clones. I’ve tried most of these and gave my $$ to the good folks at ObjectiveDevelopment. The folks at SnapperFish have announced their SnapperMail upgrade…

LaunchBar

I just registered LaunchBar. If you are a Mac user and you consider yourself a "power user", this is a must have utility. It can launch applications, web site bookmarks, documents… you activate it by hitting command+space bar, then type the first few letters of whatever you want to access and hit return. Get it,…
